When she tells Elend that she made him emperor, her eyes are referred to as "dark"

Can you call them mistborn without mistborn?  ???

Dilaf reveled in blood and death, Pushing and Pulling himself towards his fleeing prey.

He landed adroitly in front of the startled man, relying on his Dakhor markings to deflect the bits of metal that the  man tossed. His eyes were bloodshot, flashing with an insane light. He pulled out a spike and stepped towards the cornered man. "You can't escape."



Lol. That's a terrifying thought.

All magics would work on the other worlds provided you knew how to make it happen.

Assuming that you have the proper genetics for it...   ;)

Ruin's consciousness—separate from his power—isn't a particularly nice being. But you can't much blame him, as there's very little that is left of the mind that once was. The force of Ruin has pretty well molded the mind to fit with the force's intent.

This seemed to relate to some of what you were posting earlier,  so I thought it was worth bringing up.  Not really particularly novel information, but seems like it is worth reminding people about.

Now, on to the focus of my post!

Kill him, Ruin's voice whispered. You could do it. Take a weapon from one of those soldiers, then use it on Yomen.
A slight tangent occurs where Vin is disturbed that Reen's voice is actually Ruin's.  Then back in:
Quote
She ignored the voice, She wasn't sure why Ruin would want her to try killing Yomen. After all, the Yomen had captured her--the obligator king was working on Ruin's side.

Brandon says this about the chapter (in his annotations):

Quote
Notice that Ruin's voice doesn't come to her until after she puts the earring back in. As she points out later, his telling her to kill isn't as specific as she's interpreting it. He's just sending her a general feeling that she should kill and destroy; his attention is elsewhere at the moment, watching what Spook is doing.
(emphasis added)

Let's look at the Pool scene. We have one Shard, with a passive mindset, telling Raoden to give up. This is the Shard Pool's influence. But!  Raoden received a vision of an Aon. It seems slightly contradictory to have one Shard telling Raoden to die, and then the other showing him an Aon. This is an interesting duality. One giving him a reason to live, the other wanting him to die. Passion/Tranquility, it could be called?

It seems to me that the Dor Shard and the pool could be the same. (though I actually don't think they are, so I'm kind of playing Devil's Advocate. Oh well.) Raoden's mind could just be interpreting the Shard's general feelings and tendencies, but the aon Rao is what it is deliberately sending him.

I dunno. It's just a thought.

The other thing I wanted to mention was a passing confirmation that Ruin and Preservation were humans that predated Scadriel. I've been trying to find it, but I haven't been able to yet. (Grrr. Sometimes I wish that HoA wasn't so darn long). Basicly what it says is that Preservation remembered either what he had once been, or what had once been in general, and wanted it created again. So it seems to me that they were humans from the pre-collapse of Adonalsium, who created humans originally. When Creation shattered, they were some of those who became shards, and remembered what had gone before. Thus all the shards both remember humans (and being human), and the power of the Shards itself has a tendency towards the creation of humans.


Wow. Looking back, this is kind of rambly and not particularly coherent. Oh well. Feel free to poke holes in this.

And yes, I know that some of that was common knowledge.

I am an allochemist, and I practice allochemy!  :D Sounds a lot like alchemy. I kind of like the terminology that was suggested at the beginning of this thread

At the moment, Rand has about 50 more votes than Jaime...   which puts them at the same percentage.  :-\ Here's hoping for Rand!

A friend from church reccomended Elantris to my sister and let her borrow it. I stole it (with permission), read it, and bought all of his books.

Oddly enough, I heard about Wheel of Time because of Brandon's association with it, not vice versa.

Yeah, probably. Seems a bit boring though.

But the Dor is described several times as a massive, unthinking force that is trying to push out of a space that is way to small for it.  ???

I don't know what page its on, but after Spook pulls out his spike, Kelsier's  voice speaks in his head and tells him he's proud of him, or something. I don't remember exactly what.

While we're talking about this, what happens if an allomancer burns an imbued spike? Say, if Vin swallowed her earing and burned its bronze?

13
The impression I am under with inquisitors is that, ordinarily, they are created from mistings or mistborn, and then get one spike for each basic allomantic power, and another for gold-feruchemy (health). That's why they needed to rest so much.

Later, Ati gave the inquisitors additional feruchemical powers, and Marsh also got duralumin.

This is something that has been bugging me for a while, so I wanted to let you guys take a stab at it. What happens when a Copper misting (feruchemist and allomancer) burned some copper with a memory stored in it? It seems to me like something funny would happen, because unlike other metals, which store attributes (strength, speed, health, etc.) that can be easily multiplied and magnified, copper stores something more specific. Mental information. How do you "enhance" a stored memory?

Oh, and by the way, Anchor=Awesome!  ;D
